Fungal-fermented straw products (FSP) are a candidate amendment, but their suitable application rate, placement depth and side effects on soil microbes and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      An FSP was produced from corn straw via solid-state fermentation for 30 d using\n                      <jats:italic>Auricularia cornea<\/jats:italic>\n                      cv.

A single-season greenhouse pot experiment was conducted with an unamended control (no FSP) and six FSP treatments combining different rates (0.5\u20135% w\/w) and soil incorporation depths (3 and 10 cm).
